Hi all,

I'm new around here, and just acquired an A100 from the local dealer
to check out.

I'm [relatively] new to the field modular synthesis (well, aside from
Reaktor & friends which I did have some success with), and have a few
simple questions to help me in my decision to take this beast on. ;)

Could anyone comment on the possible original usage of the following
modules? I know its modular, and the implications of such, but does
this look like a typical dual VCO synth, or more like an odd external
processing solution? (the amount of CV based modules confuses purpose
to an extend, maybe I need to mess about some more)

The modules are as follows:
(Two rows, starting left to right, top to bottom)

A113 Subharmonic Osc
A135 Voltage Control Mixer
A144 Morphing Controller
A114 Ring Modulator
A103 18db Low Pass Filter
A142 VC Decay/Gate
A140 ADSR

A190 Midi-Cv-Gate-Sync
A185 Bus Access Module
A132 Dual Low Cost VCA
A156 Dual Quantizer
A126 Frequency Shifter
A111 High End VCO
A111 High End VCO
A180 Multiples
A145 LFO Modulation Generator
A131 VCA Logarithmisch

They're looking for £900. Seem a reasonable second hand price?

 
Whilst the A100 looks like it will do the job, it only came with a
minimal amount of patch leads. I need to get this tested ASAP in case
I wish to return, so wheres a good place to get patch leads in the UK?
Standard 3.5mm mono jacks will do OK?

Many thanks in advance for any answers, if I take this on, i'll be
reading the posts here franticly I think ;)

Cheers

James.
